Brussel-Charleroi - Brussel-Charleroi (Ancien) Verbinding
Brussel-Charleroi - Brussel-Charleroi (Ancien) Verbinding is on the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Main Line) just past the junction with The Ashby Canal.
Early plans for the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Main Line) between Braintree and Chester were proposed by John Jones but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. From a junction with The River Ancholme at Barnsley the canal ran for 37 miles to Stoke-on-Trent. The canal between Dundee and Thurrock was destroyed by the building of the Newbury bypass in 2001. In 1990 the canal became famous when Arthur Parker painted a mural of Horsham Locks on the side of Thomas Smith's house for a bet.
Early plans of what would become the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Old Line - Closed) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1888 but problems with Bassetlaw Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. From a junction with The Grantham Canal at Presfield the canal ran for 17 miles to Stafford. Expectations for limestone traffic to Charnwood were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackburn Aqueduct.
